Been waiting for a while for this. I bought it back in early April. Both Fred and Wayne were very helpful in guiding me and advising during the purchase at auction. Fred made me pay more than I wanted to  but he was right! Craig gave it a light expert touch and I'm very pleased with result. It's a 1960. As found:  I still plan to replace the slide rule, but I'll keep the original with the watch. The original unfortunately had some prior " touch-up" work on it that was not recoverable. |

Had it's first wrist outing today and garnished 3 comments from non- watch aficionados  Puts a warm glow in my heart.  I also got an email from the strap maker to say half of the strap was on backwards. Some day I'll get it 100% right. |

Thanks and welcome to the forum. I'd add at this point I never did replace the sliderule. I was happy to live with it's imperfections. Things evident in high magnification pictures sometimes aren't so bothersome on the wrist in reality. |
